Can't advance Keynote Widget on iBooks Author

Using Keynote 9 (version 5.1.1) and OS X Lion (10.7.2) and experiencing problems with Keynote Widget for iBooks Author.
The drag-and-drop feature works fine; I see the first slide - but the arrow button appears to be grayed out. Can't advance through any of my (pretty basic) transitions.
I don't have an iPad, so I can't see if the iBooks file works on that device, but I figured that the Keynote Widget should show some functionality in iBooks Author since both an Interactive Image Widget and QuickTime movie I added elsewhere appears to work. [That image clicks just fine in iBooks Author.]
Also, when I click "Show transport controls" in the inspector, I see arrows and 1/7 (number of slides) - but clicking still doesn't seem to work.
Do I need to be using an iPad to see this particular functionality? Or is this some sort of silly user-error? (Or both?)
Any hints are much appreciated.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Here is the support page I found to be less than "clear":
iBooks Author: About the Keynote widget (note the first bullet-point: "Adding a presentation to a Keynote widget"): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5067
I subsequently found the other support doc that is more clear - affirming the correctness of your answer.
Even so, I encourage you to reconsider the use of the word "clearly," which comes across as needlessly condescending.

  • HT5067 When using a Keynote Widget with iBooks Author, do the transitions and builds between Keynote slides appear in the iPad preview version of the iBook, or only in the finished product?

    I'm using the Keynote Widget in iBooks Author, and the Keynote presentation uses the Magic move transition between slides.  When I preview the iBook on a new iPad, the Magic move transitions don't show up (i.e. the transition from slide to slide is standard, not Magic move).  Any suggestions?

    Hyperlinks and magic move should work but don't. However I  found the following as a workaround for me. Use three slides instead of two to generate the magic move effect in Keynote presentations on Ibooks using hyperlinks only. As an example
    Supose an object on  slide 1 was set as a hyperlink to go to a slide which then had a magic move effect to a third slide. For some reason it works on the mac, but not on ibooks. However you can create the magic move transition effect by simply adding a "dummy slide" as follows.  Suppose an object on slide 1 had an object which would hyperlink to slide 4. Duplicate Slide 4, and make the duplicate slide 5. Then set Slide 4  to automatically transition (with no effect) to the next slide (i.e. slide 5) after .5 seconds. Have Slide 5 set to transition to Slide 6 using magic move automatically after .5 seconds. By having the hyperlink point to slide 4 the magic move effect from Slide 5 to Slide 6 works fine (with a brief 1 sec delay). IF the hyperlink pointed directly to Slide 5, the magic move transition to slide 6 would not work.
    For some reason having an extra slide makes magic move work even though it is not needed on the mac. I hpe this helps.

  • Quality of Keynote widget in iBooks Author

    Dear All,
    I am working on an iBook with many Keynote widgets. The keynotes are already made and connected to my iBook, but when i publish it to my iPad3 everything is unsharp. I played around with many resolutions and sizes but nothing helps. So i did a test with only text that has been typed in keynote. But also if i use only text, everything is blurry. How can i fix this problem?
    Best Regards,
    Vectar

    Here are 2 screens. The sharp screen is just a normal iBook page. The screen unsharp screen, is teh same content only now in keynote and used as a widget and opened in fullscreen mode. It's a preview book that I email to myself and than choose to open with iBooks on my iPad.

  • Go back one animation on the iPad for Keynote integrated in iBooks Author

    When playing a Keynote presentation, you can go back one animation if you hold down the Shift key while pressing the back arrow key.
    But how can you do this on the iPad when you have integrated the Keynote presentation with a widget in iBooks Author?
    Tapping or swiping brings forward each animation step by step. Bu swiping backward brings you back to the start of the slide.
    Is there an equivallent for Shift+back arrow on the iPad for iBooks?

    I have the same issue.  I am also using the Keynote remote from my Iphone.

    Notice the answers inside the widget, each with a circle to the left - tap on one of those, which will then appear green with a checkmark in the center to indicate the correct choice.

    Put them in the book or on a server on the 'net.

    Hi Crisiii,
    I have the same problem. However, in my case it does work if I test the widget in an new empty book. When I add the widget to the real book it does not work. mabe you should do the test to troble-shoot and have a better idea of what is wrong in your case.
    I will try to find a fix to the problem and let you know if I do. Please do the same if you find what the problem is.
    Thank you.

  • HT5213 Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

    Can you publish to iPhone with iBooks Author?

    No, sorry.
    iBooks Author creates a hybrid epub that works on iPad only.
    Use Pages, InDesign, etc. to generate a standard epub that will work on both iPhone and iPad if that is your goal.
